    What's the story

    Mumbai Indians beat Royal Challengers Bangalore in the fourth match of the 2023 Women's Premier League (WPL) at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.

    MI successfully chased down 156, with star opener Hayley Matthews (77*) anchoring their innings. She also took three wickets.

    Meanwhile, Nat Sciver-Brunt (55*) played second fiddle, sharing a century stand with Matthews.

    Notably, MI thrashed Gujarat Titans in the tournament opener.

    A look at the match's summary

    RCBW had a fruitful start after electing to bat. Smriti Mandhana and Sophie Devine propelled the Royal Challengers to 35/0 in four overs.

    However, RCBW lost four wickets (47/4) in the Powerplay.

    Richa Ghosh joined forces with Kanika Ahuja to reconstruct RCBW's innings, but MIW bowlers had the last laugh.

    Matthews and Nat made the chase one-sided for MIW (159/1 in 14.2 overs).
